I after he appeared in the pulpit, j II is manner of preaching and tell- J j mg anecdotes seemed to take with j ; a lot of people. Collections were taken up all along in order to j | make it interesting to him. The | wise man carried a little bottle of oil, which he used on certain nights when he took up the divine night, the healing part of the program, claim ing that with the use of a little of Thomas A.

Hun- nicut, a Macon man, after bis re lease of robbery charges. It won’t do for people to tie to every stranger they see carrying a Bible and a hymn book claiming to be a preacher. Go slow until you mako an investigation. Ninety-one of the United States uruiy doctors in the hospital at Speedway, Ill., wi re under inves tigation last week for wholesale traffice in liqnor prescriptions. The road bond issue will again be brought before the next legis lature, which will doubtless con sume much time because it is a big important quest ion.

Rosenberg, the prisoner who es caped from the Atlanta federel prison recently, has been recaptur ed. This will give much relief to the people, for yon cannot tell where such bad birds tire going to light or what they will do. A band of hooded men recently took B. F. Gorman, a Montgome ry county man, from his car and flogged him severely. They said it was because lie was taking too much interest in a relatives case pending in Montgomery county mid if he didn’t cease it another flogging would take place. Do you call This a law and order act? money to carry him through to his ourncys end. Mrs. Docia Beck fell while re turning front tiie Pentecost meet ing Monday night and sprained her ankle bad enough to have to send for a doctor. Two ball teams—male and fe male, came up from Oglethorpe and played with the College boys and girls here, each visiting team winning, last Tuesday. The state treasury is getting in a right healthy condition again, part of it by cigarette users, which will increase because the habit is glowing on the females. A Dog Hotel is kept a couple of miles from Broxton, Ga., by Tim Yeoman, who boards fine petigreed dogs of sportsmen who live in Atlanta and other cities. Word comes from Fitzgerald if any additional proof about the record of Roy E. Davis is des red that it can be had from bankers, preachers and others of that place. The Chinese celebrate their New Year, and during the 7 days cele bration every Chinaman will meet thoir creditors and pay them in full. Now if Americans would do this we would have more religion, increased prosperity and get along much better. Newspaper editors ate not re quired to furnish the name of any correspondent unless an affidavit is made that it is wanted for the pur pose of prosecuting the writer for damage, and most certainly a suit cannot be started when rio one’s name is not mentioned. S. M. Saunders was arrested in Little Rock, Arkansas, last week, who is wanted in Oklahoma on a charge of forgery, and soon after being imprisoned confessed to kill ing eighteen men. It is fortunate that they got him else lie might have killed a dozen or so more. Ten acres of land recently do nated to the government for a park by the l’fister-Land Compa ny, managed bv B II. Stone, of Blairsville, takes in Neel’s Gap, with an altitude of 4 4O3 feet, and a most beautiful place for a park. And it might be well enough to remember that part of this land is In Lumpkin county. Last Sunday night as Mr. Bob Houser was returning from Daw- vllle he had some car trouble, los ing the top. 'the bus came along close enough to brush him, causing him to think that one leg bone was broken until be reached a Doctor. It was a close call. He bad been to visit his brother, who lost bis house by lire, caused by rats. The following notice explains itself: “God pity the person who had that piece published about the seventy odd widower and the wid ow’s courtship. It’s every word a lie and the truth is not in them. If people would look after their own business, if they have any, and not watch some one elses they would have more friends and more pros perity than what they do. But experience teaches a good schm>! and fools will learn in no otthei - ' complaint and then another. The if came hi the way like many in stances. Like the fast dog in a chase. If it hadn't stopped it would have caught the rabbit. Soon after getting well started and more popular Mr. Davis told his congregation for all to come out the next night, that he bad something to tell them that would be very important to the people of Dahlonega. They went, when he broke the news to them, that with the proper cooperation a certain wealthy lady would furnish a big sum of money to build a large temple here where people of all denominations could meet and serve the Lord, which would cause thousands of persons to ilock to Dahlonega, and he would remain here six months to help. It took like hot cakes with some, who began soliciting sub scriptions to tuya site for this great place to worship at. A nice spot, not far from the Pentecost church, belonging to Mrs. J. E. McGee, containing four acres, has been selected and n price of four hundred dollars. If built tobacco and snuff users will be welcomed pi. Can Contribute now anyway. Some days ago a letter came through the mail from a gentle man in a city who had seen the Nugget, addressed to tho Pastor of the Dahlonega Baptist church. As this church has no Pastor the Post Master put the letter into the box of Mr. J. S. Speer, one of its members. He opened and found it a letter of warning, saying that Roy Ii. Davis, who it was under stood was preaching here, had a dark record as a miuister, or words to this effect. Not knowing the writer Mr. peer wrote a letter of enquiry to one of the head members of the Baptist denomination in Atlanta. His reply was that the gentleman was reliable, and whatever infor mation be furnished would be cor rect. So Mr. Speer received a regis tered package giving a full history for a number of years back of the mau here who is carrying a bible, hymn book and a little bottle of healing oil, and has been travel ing through Texas, Florida and parts of Georgia, using the pulpit as a shield in acts contrary to both the laws of God and man, for years, according to letters, affida vits and a copy of a bill of indict ment returned against him, indu ing a church letter he forged on a country Baptist church purporting to have been located down in otir state, when it turned out that there was no s ieh church in existance. The Baptists where Mr. Davis got in his deceiving work, have gone to a lot of trouble and expense in getting this man’s record. The most important matter is mi.uia- graphed, including a Texas news paper containing his picture and an account of his trial. When Da vis first came to Lavouia, Ga , from Texas, he- went by the name of J . R. Crawford. And at Ac- worth as l.ou Davis. And at .oth er places tacked Dr. on to Roy E. Davis. He is charged with desert ing a wife and !i children in Tex as, and in some of the Georgia towns and cities, with having a red headed woman with him. Was tinned out of otic Baptist church lor using language unbecoming 11 minister, Ctrried a pistol, jumped board bids, and .1 I• *t of other things charged. Among tfie 111 collecting .$10 from one man and •iL’o from utrotlijr over in l’ickens countv, Ga., t<> buy an organ for a church and left <>ut with the mon ey. The charges and proof against Mr. Davis would mote limn fill ev en’ page of the Nugget. lie has been gelling in some of his work down in Florida, ns will he seen from the following clip ping of 1 italic2 sent from thoFior- i la Baptist Witness, the leading Baptist paper published in that state, under dale of August 12th, 19^0 : Important Notice. The Stale Board of Missions through its Ex. Com. regrets to say that in its best judg ment Mr. Roy E. Davis, now operating in and around Jack sonville and posing as it Bap tist preacher, is not worthy ot the confidence of the brother hood, nor the public at large. A thorough investigation has been mad-* and from the many personal letters and af fidavits in hand from trnst- wotthy brethren it is evident that'Mr. Davis is an excluded member of a Baptist chuieh, and that he has a long and black record behind him. V. . L. C. Maiiax, Pres C. M. Burn ian, Acting Sec’y. Now as we have said, the above are only synopsis of the charges against Mr. Davis. The Baptists away from here in possession of this information sent it for a good purpose. If incorrect he has his recourse in law. Let Mr. Davis first clear himself of these charges, if he can. Don't you know this lady, who is work ing for a good cause is not going to contribute any of her money until it is done, matters not how much wealth she possesses? Her object is not to reform preachers, especial ly when they have been in the ministry twelve or fifteen years. They know better and have no excuse for backsliding arid would not be a proper person to guide and direct a thing of this kind be cause it would be a grand imposi tion on the Lord.

CHRISTIAN, Cashier, We are glad to learn that Prof. Angelberg, who lias been sick for some two or three weeks, is improving. Last Saturday was a dark day, causing Uncle John Davis, of the light plant, to keep the current on so we could have lights and work until 1:30, when he shut down to come to town to get him a piece tobacco to do him through Sunday, it was so dark that we fell off of our office stool. They tell us that there is a brighter home on high, yet we had rather stay here and use Uncle Johns lights. We should learn to appreciate, and not be too ready to cut off when the weather is dry ttud the lights dim. Mr. Geo. J. Adams, of Kansas, who recently purchased the Cal houn and Briar Patch properties in this county, lias certainly souie- hiug that is fine, hot" in mineral and farming. It consists of more than a thousand acres, and one on the property recently valued it at forty or fifty thousand dol lars. It was sold at a Receivers Sale. It belonged to a foreign company. Many of the members have passed to the beyond. The Calhoun vein, which is said to be rich enough to pay for the entire property, has been opened up for years. One of tho owners would not agree for it to he worked, and it has remained idle all these long years doing no one any good. Now [that it has changed hands we hope to see operations soon begin down ' that way.
